The northern part of the earliest floor (V), which is composed of lime marl, rests on the bedrock (1). Southward the floor extends as far as the line of pillar (16, on Plate I) where it discontinues. The connection of the floor with rooms IX and X, i.e. the south part of the central room of the Main Building beyond the pillar is discussed below (p. ....).

A trial dig in the original floor (V) brought to light among the material composing it two fragments of white slip II ware, a fragment of red on black ware and a small fragment of base-ring bowl (cf. 711 on Pl.
